Hi and thanks for the message! So why dont you do basketball?

Hi!!!! Sorry didn't mean it quite like that !!!! I started playing wheelchair tennis almost a year ago at Preston- playing 3/4 times a week now (although I'd love to play more if finances allowed!!). With two young children though that'd about all I can fit in time wise! Whereabouts in Preston do you play???? I'm on a tennis camp this weekend but that's in Bolton!

Hi Cas! Its ok I wasnt upset I just wondered why you didnt play... so youre into w/c tennis eh? Ive never played it myself but an old mate from Southport SIU called Antony Cotterill plays it... dunno if you know him?

This basketball team isnt set up yet so I dunno where they are gonna train regularly, but sessions are being held at St Augustines New Avenham Centre. Ive never heard of it but the address (if anybody wants it ) is Austins Place, Preston PR1 3JY.

Hi - I've seen Anthony at the few tournaments I've been to watch, but I havent met him! He's very good though.....il keep working hard, - one day I might actually be good enough to go in a tournament and not humiliate myself!!! You should come and have a go- we train at bamber bridge,

Oh its cool that you know who he is! I aint seen him for ages but I knew he was playing for GB in a few tournaments... so keep practising and then you can brag to me when youve beaten him eh?

Thanks for the invite to come and have a go, but its not really my kinda thing. Im a proper speed junkie... so anything that involves going fast (like my MTB club) is where I get my reasons to keep breathing! Come to one of our Taster Days if you fancy a go?

I'm knackered!!! 7.30 and I'm off to bed how pathetic is that!!!! Anthonys in the quad division whereas I'm in ladies so il never play against him. Anyway..... Pathetically I'm off to bed!!! Zzzzzzzz!!!!!!
